Thank you Trevor! I was super confused about when the filibuster became what it is now. As I remember it, you had to stand there and talk, no breaks, and if you left the floor you were done! Imagine McConnell trying to filibuster like that! There definitely should be a rule that you can only talk about the debate at hand. No reading Green Eggs and Ham, and the rest of the Dr Seuss library, on the floor!

Please don't tell me that you actually believe this insulting propaganda. Fact: the filibuster has been around since the Roman Empire as a tool to promote deliberation and protect the minority IE to prevent a temporary small minority from steam rolling, unpopular mandates on society(exactly what Democrats with the smallest minority in 150 years are attempting to do). Fact: Democrats are the only ones who've abused the filibuster -proven by their own BS Propaganda!

I can't believe you brought up the subject of staying, "on topic" and someone still, found a reason to argue with you about that. That's another real problem that needs to be fixed.
Congress uses Roberts Rules of Order which allows several ways to enforce the content of the debate. The issue is that our congress has stopped debating and it has turned into grand standing or straight out buffooneries.
The talking filibuster actually makes some sense. Republicans, now, can avoid defending the indefensible. With a talking filibuster, somebody would have to go on record as being against popular programs.
I was for removing the filibuster, but videos like this one convinced me putting an actual limit on its duration via getting senators to have to exert some effort into the filibuster by commanding the floor seems like a better idea.
@@littleman6950 The only argument I can see against the talking filibuster is that it COULD be time consuming. That it would slow the legislative process. Seems to me that would be a reasonable compromise with what we have now. NO LEGISTLATIVE ACTION.
The talking filibuster did NOT require them to speak on the subject at hand. Anyone remember Green eggs and ham read into the Congressional Record? Others have read every name in a phone book!
there was still no defining rule requiring them to talk about the subject so they can still just talk garbage or did I miss something. So it's still trash and needs to be removed
The last time there was a filibuster on these topics in the 50s, there was no internet. This time, it's gonna be different. The whole world is watching.
I see, so it is perfectly fine for the GOP to change the filibuster rules regarding the filling of Supreme Court justices, but heaven forbid the Democrats doing the exact same thing McConnell did!!!!! >:(
McConnell embodies everything unconstitutional about the Senate. Party leaders, zero term limits, voting on themselves by themselves and changing what they were voted into office for on a whim not according to we the people.
They should make a rule that a 'filibuster' is allowed only when an actual moderator with a timer are in place. Also, the entire thing should be broadcasted, for free, to the entire world, to pressure spineless republicans into sticking to the topic. Edit: To those talking about 'C-span', as far as I know, c-span doesn't have the ability to actually order a senator or representative to stop talking if the senator or representative kept wasting time to avoid passing a bill. When I mentioned a moderator, I meant a moderator that would have the power to actually stop any senator or representative from wasting time and actually penalize any senator or representative that mentions falsehoods.
@@noraa.616 I'm still trying to wrap my head around why there is even a timer there now that just runs to zero and nothing changes. Why show when it doesn't aoply? When it applies they don't show it. Plus "back door" testimony. Just no.
Crazy how mitch & the president could have been in the senate since the 50's and no one would be surprised. These senators, and judges need term limits PERIODT
Judges don't have terms at all, and it would take a Constitutional amendment to change that. And by giving them terms, when you elect a president, you know exactly how many justices will be replaced by them. That's not necessarily bad, but it would be a change to what presidential elections are about.
@@josephb.1425 Excellent point. I was shocked by the number of judges that waited to retire by years hoping 45 would be out of office thus keeping him from deciding replacements.
Here's a "not so fun fact"--Strom Thurmond was still serving in the Senate when he turned (100) in 2002. The takeaway for me is this: Sometimes, the most HORRIBLE people imaginable are destined to live for a very long time. How's THAT for a depressing notion !?! 😳
"I would talk until I fell over [to prevent passage of the Voting Rights Act]," said Lindsey Graham in response to changing the filibuster rules. Let's make sure he would have to.
I started watching "The daily show" in the time of John Stuart. I did it for fun. Then I read an article that described how well informed Americans that only had their news from one source was according to a Harvard study. It turned out that people who got their news from the liberal talkshows where the best informed people compared to the time they spend. And the best informed of them were the ones watching The daily show. That was when I started to watch several other talkshows to find out what is going on in the US. And if you do not compare to how much time you spend with the sole media. Well... newspapers on paper are still number one if you choose the ones with few pictures and many words in long sentences. I think the article mentioned Washington Post and New York Times.
"It's just a rule that was made up by that guy who shot Lin Manuel Miranda" 🤣🤣🤣 This especially took me aback because I'm teaching Hamilton right now, and my kids have beef with Aaron Burr.
ha for real -- i love JO's segment on this.... tho actually i think Trevor went farther into connecting the rise of the filibuster with the civil rights era
When you hear about it in public school, once or twice, in the watered-down state of modern history classes, it sounds like a decent enough idea. And as discussed in its origins in the beginning of the country, as a guideline to maintain debate, it sounds adequate enough. In practice? ...PURGE THIS, PURGE THIS TOMFOOLERY *NOW*

When someone start filibustering, they should remove all the water and food from the chamber and lock the doors to keep the senators inside until the vote is done. Take it hours, days or even weeks.
I've been saying for years that passing a bill should be handled the same way the college of cardinals handles electing a new pope. Brick them into the chamber, with only a small hole to pass through food and water. They don't get to come out until they've voted to pass or defeat the bill. Or even, once they leave the chamber they're not allowed back in for voting. Makes them punish themselves.

This was very informative, thank you. The last time I saw a filibuster, it was on The West Wing. I didn't know of the change where you didn't have to talk the whole time. They should definitely reinstate the talking filibuster. The older the Senator, the smaller the bladder (one would assume).

@@lynxdiamond4888 well when the most famous examples of filibustering is them talking about cooking recipes... that should be pretty clear cut!

And the camera shows the speaker, not the empty chamber... Americans have Fox NEWS to tell them what to think, they don't need facts.
Actually 6 of the 'longest' filibusters on record were WELL AFTER the 1950s. Tex Cruz's 'Dr. Zesus' moment lasted 21 hours.
Exactly. Can you imagine these guys going viral for talking nonsense when trying to stop bills haha
It just blows my mind that an NBC anchor was nonchalantly interviewing Strom Thurmond about his filibuster of the Civil Rights Act in the 1990s...

Or just have them watch it at home. Or plagiarize it and paraphrase it. That's what I'd do, if I were gonna get my educational lessons from Comedy Central, anyway.
Haha, I thought so too, because Trevor is a teen and has thoughts like that 😄
Maybe you could edit the vid to bleep it out
That elevator skit got me 🤣😂
that elevator joke is so relatable , lol!
I might actually UNDERSTAND THIS NOW!
Thanks!🌞🌞
This is one of Trevor’s best bits. Abolish the filibuster !
No need to turn out the lights he's already there ..
Thank you Trevor.I learned something tonight, about the filler buster, and how it works.
Fun fact: The name Filibuster came from the dutch term 'Vrijbuiter (lit. freeboooter)' and it was used for pirates.
The "Mah..Mah" thing is really funny 😂
This show makes me really hate UA-cam ads
preaching to the viewers more adds are needed
Now I know. Thx Trevor! 👍🏼👏🏻
Where did you get that purple hoodie? I absolutely love it.
He got it where he got all his other hoodies
The regular daily show end credits show the clothes suplier to Mr Noah.
You could watch a 2 year old episode or go to cc website, show info
If you find it let us know!
Great info & well explained. Thank you!
I thought i understood the subject before this episode and now I'm back at square one.
Trevor on Coming 2 America 🤣 I need more of that
"You want the tears of poor people, and then you want to grind them up with depression, muuuuuhhhh".
Welp call Mitch McConnell's 24/7 salad cuz I'm broke, sad and depressed virtually all my life.
Thanks a lot for the subtitles!
glad someone cool actually covered this finally
I've learned so much from this show...😭
Mmmmm.....night can't last forever. Daylight must come. Let's hope this country can heal itself...one day😓
As soon as we eliminate republicans
Once again you've educated us while keepibg it fun 😘🥰
Daily show to the daily social distancing show 😅🤣🤛
It’s been like that for over a year.
Your just now noticing that?
This was very informative, thank you. The last time I saw a filibuster, it was on The West Wing. I didn't know of the change where you didn't have to talk the whole time. They should definitely reinstate the talking filibuster. The older the Senator, the smaller the bladder (one would assume).
You clearly missed the chance to invoke Mr Smith goes to Washington
Thanks so much for explaining! I’ve been wondering.
ohmygod that "four ribs removed" joke. I'm going to go bleach my brain.
Well done!
Me using "if you don't know, now ya know" literally every day of my life now 🤣
Thanks for this!
